7 AVID Students AVID targets students who are earning average grades but have the potential to succeed in advanced courses. Ability Are the students getting Cs and Bs but are they capable of more? Can they succeed in advanced courses (honors, pre AP, AP) with support? Desire and Determination Do they want to attend college? Are they willing to work hard to get there? Membership in an underserved group Will they be the first in their family to attend college? Are they historically unlikely to attend college? Are they in a low income household? Are there special circumstances? 7

8 Student Selection Campuses recruit students to apply to the program. Interested students complete an application, written interview, and oral interview. The AVID campus site team, composed of an administrator, a counselor, the campus AVID coordinator, and teachers from other subjects, selects the students for the program. 8
